Harare Sports Club: Following a commanding seven-wicket win in the series opener, Shreyas Iyer's India will aim to seal the three-match T20I series when they face Zimbabwe in the second fixture at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After series defeats to Ireland and England, India bounced back on Thursday with a comfortable seven-wicket win in the opener to take a 1-0 lead. The victory was anchored by teenaged batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who smashed a record-breaking 18-ball fifty to become the youngest half-centurion in men’s international cricket, and a sharp 2-18 spell from returning pacer Mayank Yadav.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Conditions at the Harare Sports Club are likely to favour high-scoring action, though India’s disciplined performance meant that Zimbabwe could only make 125\/7. Unusually warm winter weather is expected again, with temperatures hovering between 22 and 24 degrees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the stadium situated at an altitude of nearly 1,400 meters, the thin air will allow mishits and aerial shots to travel farther. The shortest boundary is to the third-man region, while the longest stretches to 81 meters towards wide long-off\/cover. Square boundaries measure 76m and 72m respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the final match scheduled to be held at the same venue on Sunday, India will look to get an unassailable lead on Saturday before aiming for a 3-0 series sweep in the quick-fire tour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
